Executive MBA

Join the Powerhouse

The Rutgers Executive MBA program is a highly competitive program for experienced executive and mid-level managers. Our 20-month, limited-enrollment program is rigorous and demanding, and designed so that you can continue working while pursuing your advanced degree. Each year, at the beginning of the fall semester only, our program accepts an exclusive group of around 60 students.

If you want to broaden your perspective, add depth to your business skills, sharpen your ability to make effective management decisions, and enhance your opportunities for career advancement, acquiring an Executive MBA from Rutgers will give you that advantage.

EMBA applicants must:

Have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution

Have roughly 10 years of full-time employment experience in any discipline

Demonstrate a potential for success at senior management levels

Demonstrate the ability and motivation to participate in a rigorous and intensive course of study while employed

Experience the Powerhouse

The best way to learn about the Rutgers Executive MBA program is to come and experience it for yourself through an open house. Because our open houses are held during EMBA class days, you experience the Powerhouse first-hand—you’ll sit in on a class, talk to our students and professors and learn more about the application sequence, criteria, and entrance exam waivers.
